Hi, I have a CM Storm Enforcer case, it has a USB hub at the top which often disconnects devices when several are connected. I'm not sure if this is a bug with Windows' default driver? but I am always having issues with the hub at the top of all towers regardless of what's connected, perhaps it's related to power draw?
Anyway, so I'm looking to buy a USB 3 card to go in a PCI slot, with at least x4 ports, ideally USB 3.1 if possible.
I have a Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI motherboard with a spare PCIEx4 and PCIEx8 slot.
I've found it tricky to find reviews of USB3 cards and I bought one in the past which had issues, most likely caused by a bad driver, so ideally I'm looking for something that's reasonably supported and by a brand that's reasonably well known.
I don't mind spending a bit more if needed.
So I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations?
